About this study

In this prospective randomized four-armed study the investigators aim to compare wheter 3-D planning, which necessitates preoperative CT acquisition and sophisticated planning together with engineers, results in measurable benefits in terms of objective and subjective outcome values in a collective of patients undergoing primary total hip replacement.

Hypothesis:

  1. When compared to 2-D planning, 3-D planning of a THR results in better hip reconstruction, better subjective and clinical outcome and better longevity of total hip implants.
  2. When compared to a non-anatomical stem, an anatomical stem allows better hip reconstruction, better subjective and clinical outcome and better longevity of total hip implants.
Read the detailed description

Patients sent to our outpatient clinic for eventual primary THR are informed about this study and written patient information given to them. When patients decide to undergo primary total hip replacement, patient's questions with respect to this study are discussed in the outpatient clinic and patients willing to participate included.

Block randomization using closed envelopes for age categories 40-50, 50-60, 60-70 years will be conducted to assign the participant to one of the four study arms.

Patients will be blinded for the type of stem and method of planning. Investigators are blined in terms of methods of planning. In terms of stem design, investigators can not be blinded since their visibility on x-ray does not allow it.

The preoperative investigation includes routine investigation and an additional CT scan plus evaluation of the "University of California at Los Angeles" (UCLA) activity level and "Short Form Health 36" (SF-36) score. The same applies for the postoperative investigation and 3 months. The follow-up visits at 1, 5 and 10 years are routine investigations with additional UCLA and SF-36 Scores.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

    The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is a widely used, proprietary set of standardized questionnaires used by health professionals to evaluate the condition of patients, including pain, stiffness, and physical functioning of the hip.

    A difference in WOMAC of 2.5 points is considered relevant. 3-D-planing and/or anatomical stems will be considered superior to 2-D-planing and /or non-anatomical stems if the one year WOMAC significantly differs by 2.5.

    Measured: Change from basline to one year

  2. Change in subjective hip value (SHV)

    The subjective hip value (SHV) is as a patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) which is reported by the patient. It is easily and quickly performed and interpreted. The SHV is defined as a patient's subjective hip satisfaction expressed as a percentage of 100%, which is the score that an entirely normal hip joint would reach.

    A difference in subj. hip value of 25% is considered relevant. 3-D-planing and/or anatomical stems will be considered superior to 2-D-planing and /or non-anatomical stems if the one year subjective hip value significantly differs by 25%.

    Measured: Change from basline to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SPS monoblock stem, Symbios, Quadra-H, Medacta and 3D planning of THR in people with Hip Injuries and Surgery, run by Balgrist University Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) (time frame: Change from basline to one year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2023.
